Optional text selection context menu item

[Terrance]

Describe your suggested feature

TranslateYou appears in the text selection context menu as Translate (#11) when it looks like there's something to be translated.

I'm assuming it's up to Android itself (rather than this app) whether to appear or not on a given selection. Whilst it appears reliably on non-Latin scripts, the Translate option also shows up when selecting some English words. Its conditional appearance messes with muscle memory when trying to use other text selection options, for example Select All, as this appears either as the last visible option in the toolbar when Translate isn't offered, or else in the overflow menu when it is.

I don't often need translations (the odd times I do make use of it, I'm typically pasting or typing into the app anyway), whereas I often want to share or select all text when composing notes -- the easiest way to do that is to double-tap a word, then tap Select All, but of course the option sometimes gets buried and I end up hitting Paste instead!

I realise this (probably) isn't directly your problem, but it would be useful for the menu item to be optional/configurable if possible, as Translate ends up being the front option and getting in the way enough to be a nuisance.

As apps must hardcode their "text processing" capabilities do that they are known at compile time, there's no real way to do allow users to disable it.

There's however one very hackish workaround, but I don't really think maintaining different activity aliases is worth it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40505357/disable-the-intent-filter-from-android-manifest-programmatically.
